Enrolment Process
Enrolment packs are available for Mākara Model School to assist you in enrolling your children. We are happy to receive requests for enrolment forms in person, or by phone or email. Please contact us where we can be of assistance.
Enrolment forms need to be completed before your child starts school. We are also required to see their immunisation certificate and birth certificate and if applicable, their vaccine pass.
Prospective parents and their children are always welcome to come to look around our exciting school. Our current students will often be involved in taking you for a tour, as well as the teachers.
If you are interested in finding out more about Makara Model School, or would like a meeting please contact us.
What we offer
In Zone ApplicationsTwice each year, applications for enrolment from in-zone students will be sought 3 weeks before the end of terms 2 and 4. These dates will be published at least two months before the end of terms 2 and 4, in a daily or community newspaper circulating in the area served by the school and on the school website. This will enable the Board to assess the number of places which can be made available to students who live outside the home zone during the last month of term.
Out of Zone EnrolmentsThe Board will determine the number of places which are likely to be available in the following 6 month period for the enrolment of students who live outside the home zone. The board will publish this information in the community newsletter or website, and circulating in the area served by the school. The notice will indicate how applications are to be made and specify a date by which all applications must be received. The BOT have directed that there are 4 places available, to be confirmed by 28 May 2024. There may be more allocated for term 4 2024 - but this will be advertised accordingly.
School Visits
School visits help to introduce your child to their class and teachers before starting school. This assists in a smooth transition to school. The number of visits and their frequency is dependent on you and your child. Starting school, or starting a new school, is a major milestone for children and their parents.
Parents can elect to either stay in the classroom during school visits, or leave their child to enjoy their new classmates and environment for a short time while the parents enjoy a drink in the staffroom.
If you are visiting at the beginning of the school day, try to come early so that there is playtime with the other students before school begins.
